This is pretty much all the gear that I own now.. I sold most of the old gear, batteries, lenses with the 300D in order to purchase the 400D

My pirate name is:
Iron Prudentilla Bonney
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

tomorrow i'll be in the 300's! oh my gosh.
so today. i feel as if i have so much to say but i don't exactly know how or what i want to say.
this was taken in my photography class, and just the fact that it was taken in that class (just as a test shot for setting my manual settings), makes it all the better because that class just excites me so much in general and those were my notes from today and fstops and aperature still confuse me (even after going over it a million times today and this passed summer and last year's photography class). the thing i love about majoring in photography and my photo class in college is that it is so different then having it as an elective in high school. i'm learning so much more real stuff (even thought it's just from my second day of this class this semester) than we studied in my photo class last year and its thrilling.
but anyways, i didn't have time to get a "better" photograph today since college has been keeping me kind of preoccupied and weird lately and i have like no time. i keep telling myself going away to college in two years will be different and better but i still feel like it'll be somewhat the same as what i am feeling now but two years can make a big difference and i felt kind of off today again like last week but it hasn't been as bad as last week. but i take a lot of time to adjust to things. this doesn't make sense to any of you...my thought process....ramble ramble. and one last thing- i wish i could get the opportunity to photograph the twin towers because they were so beautiful :l
i am now done rambling now. i think.
oh wait nope im not :p more photos in comments
Tools of creativity. I have just finished college and will be working to save money for Inter-railing through Europe next summer I am hoping to motivate friends to come along as well. It will be great to expand my horizons and will be the first time I have travelled outside of the UK alone. So apart from earning money for travels I want this year to be about creativity I am starting to read books more and want to carry this on (love the "Into The Wild" film so got the book too, so far a great read). I want to play more music (I barely touch my guitars now-a-days), draw and sketch for fun again (no college pressure!). Also carry on taking photos (with this project to hopefully motivate me!). Haven't taken any photos this month and wanted to try this project for a while.
I just got a Canon EF-S 17-55mm IS lens. My captures really didn't look very sharp when previewed in camera, but I think you will agree that they do look pretty sharp on a computer monitor.
I also took one of these at F2.8, but either I botched the focus or the camera did and the text wasn't in focus. I will probably post something at 2.8 tomorrow.
Its maximum magnification is less than the kit 18-55 IS II, I am eager to find out if that makes this lens difficult to use for food photography
for the "what's in your bag" group ... or maybe i just wanted an excuse to put a lot of notes on a photo.
this is probably fairly typical of the amount of random things i keep in my bag, although the contents themselves are often rotated. doing this actually helped me realize what an accurate depiction my bag is of the things i am currently contemplating.
Got this off a bottle of Minute Maid juice. It works just fine! Minute Maid - Made With Photography in Mind! Thank You Minute Maid.
half frame camera with a 32mm f1.7 manually focusing lens. Focusing is from infinity to 2.5 feet. A selenium meter around the lens automatically sets the correct aperture and shutter speed in program fashion -- 1/30 at f1.7 to 1/800 at f 16.
I always lose my lens cap and really don't like those lens cap keepers so I searched online and found this awesome DIY tutorial by Benny Johansson.
Here's what you need:
~plastic piece (I used an empty shampoo bottle)
~hair rubber band (thick one)
~scissors
~drill (yep you have to drill 2 holes in the lens cap...eek!)
~glue gun (I glued together the ends of the rubber band instead of tying a knot b/c it fit better that way for me)
See the link below for detailed directions:

It is really pretty simple. Took me about 20 minutes from start to finish.
This example of a 50-(or more!)-year-old Nikkor lens cap for a 50mm Æ’ 2 Nikkor for a Leica screw-mount camera. (This one came with a Canon, a rare combination!) The cap fits over the outside of the lens, which takes 43.5mm filters. Taken in my home "studio" in Albany, CA by a Nikon F4s with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm Æ’ 3.5 AI lens on Kodak Portra 400 film.
Just a random test shot with my new Canon 50mm f1.4 USM. Not a huge step from 50mm f1.8 II in image quality, but it sure feels more sturdy. Also the AF seems much better.
The lens cap included with the Voigtländer Color-Skopar 20mm F3.5 SL II Aspherical lens does NOT fit when you put the lens hood on. However, a 52mm LC-52 Nikon lens cap does the trick since it has deeper "catches" inside.
(iPhone took the place of photoshop and whited out the background by itself. Weird.)

Proud to say that I have thought of an idea-
based on this picture (sort of).
I'm going to start a LensCap series of photos!
I think it will be a challenge to find new and unique places to place my cap
to take different photos of it.
I'm a GENIUS!\
This is the second photo of the series :)
Shot during the photo walk from Behind the Lenscap on a beautiful sunny day on saturday 19th april 2014 . It was nice to meet all these photographers from this group in real life. Photographer Jeroen de Jongh is on the photo ;-).
Holland America Line is a holiday cruise line based in Seattle. It has been owned by Carnival since 1989.
From 1873 to 1989, it was a Dutch shipping line, a passenger line, a cargo line and a cruise line operating primarily between the Netherlands and North America. As part of this rich legacy, it was instrumental in the transport of many hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Netherlands to North America.

Yes, the title is stating the obvious. I have posted and deleted this photo 2-3 times in the past because there are SOOOO many butterfly shots on Flickr. That's not a bad thing. In fact, many of them are excellent photos, but I guess I just wasn't in the mood or something. Now I am.

The Elikon 35 CM (Ðликон 35СМ) is a viewfinder camera made by BeLomo (Belarus Optical & Mechanical Association) in the early nineties. Its fixed lens is the Industar 95 (38/2). In this series of 11 photos I show you how this lens was removed from the camera and converted to Leica-M mount so that I can use it with a Leica-M to E-mount helicoid adapter.

Elne is already mentioned by Herodotus as "Illiberis", later Hannibal camped here (with his elephants) on his way to Italy. Within the 4th century it was named "Castrum Helenae" after the mother of Constantine the Great. Elne was a stronghold of the Visigoths, who founded the bishopric here in the 6th century. During the Middle Ages Elne, once the capital, lost its importance to nearby Perpignan, as the Counts of Roussillon moved their seat to Perpignan. In 1601 even the episcopal seat was transferred to Perpignan
So what is the parish church "Sainte-Julie-et-Sainte-Eulalie", is a the former cathedral built on a little hill. It replaced an older church and was consecrated in 1069.
During the Crusade of Aragon, a conflict between Philip III of France (aka "Philippe le Hardi") and Peter III of Aragon (aka "Pere el Gran"), the French armee conquered Elne, that was under the command of a knight named "Bastard of Roussillon". The population seeked shelter inside the cathedral. This ended in a masacre, as the church was set afire by the troops. Of course there was looting and plundering.
Next to the cathedral is the cloister, erected between 12th and 14th century, and believed to be one of the most important in Southern France. Some damages will date back to the Cruisade of Aragon, some to the Wars of Religions or the French Revolution, but still many carvings are "in situ" and in a good condition.
I had spent hours in Elne. I had reached the weird, nervous mode in which I tend to take more and more and more shots. Different light. Different angle. Different idea. Why don´t I have a tripod? Where are my notes? Where is my lenscap? I should come back tomorrow morning in the early light... And then finally I knew,that I had to leave the church and the cloister now - and return in a year or two. Better prepared, more relaxed. With a tripod.
I took this very last shot of some guys, growing out of a tree. Hairstyles I still remember. Actually I did remember the name of this person, seen here. He was my classmate in 1968. Was he that old? Seeing his eyes, I knew, that he had smoked some strange green stuff. He said "Hello" - and I said "Goodbuy".
Here is the soundtrack:
If I was in a game and pressed "I" this is pretty much what you'll see. This was pretty much what came out of my pockets when i started emptying it out. Separated into four quadrants. I emptied a few cards out of my wallet just to show you some stuff I carry in there that isn't money.
This is quite popular for ladies and their purses. For guys we don't really carry purses so this is the best I can get. Please show me your inventory so I can study them like meat :)

A nice feature about this lens is the 52mm filter thread that a lot of Nikkors use as well. Same lens caps, filters and rubber hoods. If I ever get/make a reverse ring or such, this is one more thing that can be reverse mounted.
